Awful, terrible, no-good, very bad idea. Israel represents a potential example of sanity and prosperity in the region. The route to a stable middle east has to include the Islamic nations recognizing the right of Israel to exist as well as those muslims who live within the borders of Israel recognizing that same right.

It also requires Israel to provide equal opportunity to the Muslims living within its borders, obviously, and most likely the recognition of a Palestinian state, but those goals can't be reached without the 'big stick' of NATO backing up Israel.
